Notes: Weighted to national level with National Sample Survey Organization sample weights. Standard errors, in parentheses, are clustered by state. *** = p < 0.01, ** = p < 0.05, * = p < 0.10. Results are reported for the coefficient on the real minimum wage from separate regressions for whether or not an individual is employed in a particular sector (formal, informal, or self-employment). All regressions include the full set of control variables shown in Tables 3–6 plus state dummies, time dummies, and state–time interaction terms. Pre-2005 years are based on 1983 through 1999–2000 NSSO data, and post-2005 years are based on 2004–2005 through 2007–2008 NSSO data.
